Two musical worlds collide as international icon Ricky Martin and Mexican powerhouse Carín León join forces to revive one of Latin music’s most unforgettable songs, “A Medio Vivir.” Released under Sony Music Latin, the single delivers a rich, emotional reinterpretation that honors the spirit of the original while infusing it with a modern edge.
Originally penned by Venezuelan legend Franco De Vita, “A Medio Vivir” became one of Ricky Martin’s defining hits, shaping the sound of Latin pop in the 1990s. Now, nearly three decades later, the song is reborn through a collaboration that merges pop, regional Mexican, and contemporary Latin influences. Produced by Casta and Andrés Saavedra, the new version captures the raw emotion of heartbreak and the lingering ache of lost love, offering both nostalgia and reinvention.
Visually, the accompanying music video—directed by Carlos Pérez, creative director of Elastic People—transforms the song into a cinematic experience. With symbolic imagery and poetic storytelling, the video reflects the themes of separation, longing, and hope. Both artists deliver striking performances, balancing vulnerability with strength and allowing the audience to feel the song’s emotional depth on an entirely new level.
The collaboration arrives as Ricky Martin embarks on a new creative era. His Ricky Martin Live world tour continues to captivate audiences, beginning with two sold-out shows at Chile’s Claro Arena before heading to Australia, Europe, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and Mexico. Confirmed 2025–2026 dates include major venues such as Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, Madrid’s Starlite, and Mexico City’s Estadio Fray Nano, with more to be announced soon.
Ricky Martin—whose illustrious career spans over four decades, multiple GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® wins, and timeless hits like “Livin’ La Vida Loca” and “La Copa de la Vida”—continues to elevate Latin music on the global stage. Meanwhile, Carín León, known for his innovative approach to regional Mexican music, keeps redefining the genre with international collaborations and record-breaking performances.
Together, they bridge past and present, proving that great songs never fade—they evolve. “A Medio Vivir” now stands not just as a classic reborn, but as a celebration of Latin music’s power to unite generations through passion, authenticity, and artistry.
